11:02 am
plutonium issue was this. talking to. the children this was. going to be. able. to get is that we weren't is this enough you that was sure yes that's what. these kids are. so very very good the family the relatives who were shocked so those were the details on the brothers that the uncle of the suspect shared with c.n.n. the elder brother apparently claimed the he wanted to join the u.s. olympic boxing team those are some of the other details that emerged but he couldn't do that because he was not a u.s. citizen now a citizen of which country he was we don't know yet the brothers are reported to be of chechen descent but authorities tell us that they've been in the u.s.
11:03 am
for around ten years the younger brother briefly attended school in russia's republic of dagestan eleven years ago we reached out to that school and they told us that truck car the one who is at large now spent there one year and that his family arrived there from characters down in two thousand and one here is more about their brief time in russia where public of their guest on. the world in the first grade and after just a year he left all the school and his family's from kurdistan they were full of children in the family this is and to drop in two thousand one hundred the school and in two thousand and two they left for the u.s. to. authorities have told the media here that the man arrived in the u.s. again in two thousand and three there. they're reportedly u.s. permanent residents but we're getting conflicting reports on when they came to the
11:04 am
united states it's all very sketchy at this point it's a very fast developing stories story so so so we're going to try and verify those reports as we get them but what more do we know about these men the elder brother who was killed had a you tube page apparently was very religious there are suggestions that the brothers were influenced could have been influenced by radical islam and we don't know whether they received some kind of training abroad or those are just homegrown terrorists the bombs that they detonated or pressure cooker bombs experts on terrorism are saying that those have been used by extremists worldwide but at the moment we don't know whether they have any ties with the international terrorist networks or whether they were just acting alone the reports that we hear in the media and the sources in the law enforcement and they talk to authorities seem to be more inclined to think that they're dealing with homegrown radicalism of course
11:05 am
then we still have to just make a view is that these are all speculations on officials have no idea drill easy eighty's statement about what is actually happening how these two suspects they came to. the u.s. and how it's all turned out but i just want to teach you about the boston is on a lot done drive now several hours we've been on this manhunt how is it progress thing. well isn't this right i have and i just want to add that the police are expected to to speak with the media shortly so we're going to hear more details from them. very soon well police have put everybody on high alert in boston drill car may have explosives with him on him. the reports say that he is the brother who was killed our earlier tonight he did have explosives on him so they're being very cautious with this they're chasing. they're
11:06 am
chasing dzhokhar as we speak there's a lot of police activity as we see it though we heard gunshots and this was a five day manhunt we had a dramatic development tonight when the elder brother was killed after a car chase and after a police officer was killed and another one to one date boston is on lockdown right now public transportation is shut down the police are urged people to be very cautious to stay indoors lock their doors the police are going from door to door to find this suspect we heard again we heard gunshots and all of which indicates that the police are getting close to catching the suspect dead or life. then it says you can into washington just giving us the latest update on the boston bombing suspects who's at large at the moment and right to you are watching a live pictures of from that man hand you can see the traffic jam stop the police
11:07 am
have surrounded that entire area of boston on lockdown really officials have said that. people should stay at home should not be said should not stay by the windows or should open up they don't see anybody but officials of course the second suspect is that los right now police are hunting down for him earlier on we did find out that the police did find his car we don't exactly know what was in his car what the officials found but we know that a vehicle was found believed to be of the second suspect. right of course we'll be bringing you more on that as soon as any kind of information arrives at two so we'll be bringing that to you live with more analysis from our studio the guest as well as i guess on live right after the identities of the suspects who were revealed to the chechen leader ramzan kadyrov responded by
11:08 am
saying terrorism has no nationality he said that the two brothers lost all connection to chechnya long ago when they left for america earlier did offer strongly condemn to the boston marathon bombings as saying the chechen people have been greatly saddened by those twin blasts which killed three people and injured over one hundred and seventy also added that no act of terror can ever be justified . the caucasus connection to the american blood is in the unexpected turn of events with large parts of boston sealed off as police search for that lost the suspect let's get more about that link with the pizza lavelle who's a hero with me. to the bell crossed you've talked about you know homegrown extremist that was some of you guess what's been the what's the the common denominator in terms of this what do you think mostly i mean we have to finance these brothers were disaffected living in america we don't know that ok but they
11:09 am
seem so all american to me so this isn't really on we don't know enough about their background what motivated them ok they certainly weren't born there but to be integrate well we don't know. do the originals of these brothers mean anything doesn't mean anything to me so far. at all it's a coincidence and on one everybody seems to be making quite a big deal about them well there's no evidence this is what bothers me give me the evidence given the connections ok with a religious overly religious we don't know ok this is why i'm very worried about this and people going to make assumptions that are not right of course we're still waiting for official statements and we know that the is a news present coming soon maybe they'll they'll give us a little bit more information and then you know once keep in mind there's terrorist action going on around the world all the time ok you get good news coverage as well and really you know syria for example. i don't want to go so deep into. you know issues i want to focus on these two boys who are both very young even if they had nothing to do with chechnya these are let's just see them as two young boys in
11:10 am
america who's committed this serious act homegrown terrorism ok and we have to figure out why ok it's what they did is awful but easy to do unfortunately very easy to do and cheap we've heard i'm confirmed reports that the there were some information that was intercepted within this social media quite late after this all happened issued of the authorities have seen this coming you. if you can't watch all of it unfortunately you can't watch i see things on you tube all the time it's very very strange to arrest everybody for doing that you can write ok peter lavelle is going to stay here with me we will come back to him a little bit later while we are in rebel some of these facts from fiction on these bombings the suspects way at large right now not messing parts of boston are shut down with people told to stay inside to businesses close and flights grounded classes have also been canceled in many university in the area let's talk about the
11:11 am
bomb could have infiltrated what should have been a secure event with archie contributor action returns the in london times how would these two individuals of slipped through the massive security checks that the u.s. has implemented post nine eleven how did this happen. what a testament to homeland security from nine eleven after all the whole idea of terrorism now in the world is asymmetric warfare and as your correspondents have talked about the whole of boston looking like gotham city waiting for batman one thing these terror will definitely do will help the security operators of central government was a complete and utter failure perhaps there will always be a necessary failure because as the security analysts are fond of saying it only takes them to be right once and the. and the you homeland security people they have to be right every single time. and now we know that there's not
11:12 am
a there hasn't been any official statement from the police yet but what do you think could have been the motive to carry out such a. you know such a deadly. these people were killed. this is a huge in the thank you lou. he was lenin who said terrorists are liberals with bombs obviously the killing of civilian populations in this way the marathon. is going to strike is absurd in the american mindset that's what i mean about fear being spread now by the entire media of course what with the actual motives we are as free to live elsewhere i'm sure about at the exactly at this moment it is noticeable that already a republican senator from iowa is calling for immigration reform fox news one of the most popular cable news networks in the united states and sister channel in britain sky news they're already talking about how wonderful it would be of all
11:13 am
boston residents had guns in violation as was of president obama's gun policy i think if it does turn out that these two suspects actually had something to do with this and they spent their childhoods in boston an area notable for its high immigration from the north caucasus then the united states has to look at itself the amazing amount of islamophobia those circumstances and a whole variety of other circumstances beyond that but of course this might not have a political motive. pressure cooker bombs which appeared to be homemade that type of attack doesn't seem fitting of international terrorist organization does it. well the seven seven bombs here in london were carried out by british born muslims they happened to be and of course all the press were fascinated by this because i think the authorities here wanted to talk to the united states they felt their melting pot idea of immigration and multiculturalism meant that how is it
11:14 am
that say in a city like detroit in michigan where most of the muslims are concentrated most american muslims are concentrated there didn't seem to be any huge a salafi ideas taking taking root even amidst all the perfect poverty that michigan suffers now we realize that america is not immune if indeed this is a political act and if it is a political act then the united states people are going to have to start realizing that their foreign policy is actively supporting the most wahhabi extreme forms of distortions of islam as most muslims in the world see it and we're going to see the united states support that in saudi arabia and of course people in britain and television networks will be covering the bahrain grand prix there interconnections everywhere if this is a political act and it's about time international media start talking about those interconnections. about terrorism or militancy the way to
11:15 am
combat it is through other measures and this idea of this ridiculous homeland security department coordinating them and security this will never stop attacks like this the way to stop attacks like this is something entirely different. the suspect. where and exactly quiet and apparently about the intentions on social networks how true that is are we we don't know but why was that ignored if it is she because there is. there is a lot of pressure format american government to actually spy on that they they people so why could they have missed that especially if i had to do with terror killing people surely they could have picked that up on the words used. i think it's absurd to monitor social media for preference i think most twitter accounts people have a thing at the top saying just because i read to eat this doesn't mean i agree with it the idea that monitoring social media will draw you to who is going to blow up
11:16 am
the boston marathon is plainly absurd it's a wrong dead end if it is a political act this boston marathon bomb they've got to start looking at foreign policy and if indeed they were brought up or these their families were brought up in the cold rooms of political strife in the north caucuses during the late one nine hundred ninety s. . america has not gotten through it rusher about and the terror just terror ideas no i mean the united states it's as out in time media of islamophobia these things will catalyze it a new month security to go up and unless you have a full william one hundred eighty four person in every single house is going to do it that's for social media being able to use that to sports future terrorists i think more often than not you're going to end up getting the wrong guy and sending him to one ton of obey i'm sure as a young man was slim in boston when. is this
11:17 am
a political motive or nort these two suspects were devoted to going to where the americans torture kidnap and kill. contributor action returns are just saying they're looking at foreign policy to help combat such actions thank you for your time and insight write a summary of what we know in the bus to so far the bombing suspects or have been named as twenty six year olds a timeline tonight evan is nineteen year old brother dzhokhar they are believed to have spent time in russia's north caucasus region before their family moved to the united states back in two thousand and two the elder of the two brothers was killed earlier today in a shootout with police right now an intense manhunt is underway throughout the boston area for the surviving suspect police found a car believed to be linked to the tonight have brothers every hour agents and members of the national guard are involved in the large scale manhunt along with hundreds of police conducting door to door searches these are live pictures we're
11:18 am
bringing you it's also reported that explosive were found at a location where the two men away initially traced to along with a pressure cooker similar to the one used in the marathon bombing residents have been warned to remain in doors and law let anyone into their homes except officials and authorities and as you can see there this seems to be a lot of activities but we don't know exactly what is going on we know it everybody everything is on lockdown transport has been shut down businesses shut down people are just data home offices of different kinds all day really looking for that second suspect we'll bring you more as soon as we know of it. political commentator alexander on the cross of says america's security is not conducive to preventing domestic terror attacks. i think that the american intelligence community is always looking at ways of preventing terrorist acts on u.s.
11:19 am
soil and i think basically that was successful if you look at what has been happening and they were claiming that the diprivan serious terrorist attacks but i think the main problem here is that the. the war on terror across the world in the middle east and elsewhere i think it's not actually conducted in the way that can prevent. more terrorist attacks in the west and the u.s. itself because let's face it some of these people might not be even linked we don't know about these schools but might not be even linked to jihad still good musicians or groups but they do see what's going on on television they do see what is happening in other parts of the world and don't forget some of these people are just saying well we have to help our brothers here on their own up against on the rocks and they basically become so serious you know that is the most dangerous thing because you can't really catch them you can truly point them out because
11:20 am
they're not connected to any of the groups and that is the day job though i must say if these tools have been posting messages like that on you tube and nobody nobody paid any attention to that that's quite strange since. dimitri. political analyst a voice of russia radio station says the ethnic origin of the suspects is being given too much attention. actually government does want a lot about the kind of refugees about the kind of immigrants that the united states and west european countries are ready to accept i mean. i didn't interview with these people in europe or in the united states but i read a lot of reports from russian reporters and from western reporters actually interviewing these people and a lot of them did not change their condition or their convictions a lot of them are still diehard decent mists they didn't change after leaving russia and i can easily imagine that
11:21 am
a lot of them conceded both russia and the united states part of the same decadent western civilization and you know in this situation that they can the wage of their jihad not necessarily in a place like syria or iraq but also in the united states happened to be in many countries there are people who got i siloam in the west that later turned against their hosts and against their benefactors it's enough to remember their last i mean you know the founder of more than iran was a political refugee in france before he came back a civic to run. you know if you expect any kind of great youth any kind of. you know thankful feel thinking from these people you are they're drawn most of the jihadists are ever tests and you're seeing their convictions they think that they
11:22 am
have the right to of you know to a certain their convictions they have the right to commit violent acts if only they feed their course and their cause is the creation of these islam and state. well maybe it would be an expanding state in north caucasus it would be a universal islamic caliphate but there's their thinking and i'm afraid in boston we were dealing. with exactly that kind of fifteen king if you read the american press all the time and if you read the one certain articles which appeared on the website of the new york times today you can see a lot of simplistic thinking about the so-called church and uprising and the islamist groups in the north caucasus and the american used to say that russia was to blame for all these terrorist activities but i don't agree with that i think that russia was actually fighting a real internationally slum as threat in north caucasus at least during the circled war during the second chechen war and olivia's li says were mistakes t.v.
11:23 am
due north caucasus is not only a threat to russia it's also a threat to the united states is that the road to europe but somehow western countries just refuse to recognize it. some politicians in the us congress have seen this week's tragic events as an opportunity to step up their drive to control the internet the c i s p a bill would allow user data to be shared with government agencies getting around privacy laws and made it through to the senate but president obama still afford to be wary of signing it off archies america produce the end drew blake has more. aides for the white house actually said that we will recommend the president veto this legislation to sever intelligence and for sharing of protection act it's come under a lot of criticism by its opponents because they say that it does more than what the authors say it does now the authors of cispa they say that this bill will lead to businesses private companies google facebook and many internet provider these
11:24 am
companies will be encouraged to share information with the federal government that will be used to track down and monitor and curb its cyber attacks aimed at the united states computer critics say that it puts too much of americans privacy at risk and that the right safeguards are there people would be separate pricing their privacy for a little bit of security when the bill was introduced back in february i believe one of the areas for the second time representative or one of the authors of the bill he said you know we can't have another nine eleven we can't have another terrorist attack it but if we do we will pass any law that needs to happen sure enough another congressman actually got up and said well look what happened in boston these were bombs sure they weren't digital bombs but the next ones will be digital bombs so we need to come together for the sake of national security and do something and that's exactly why a lot of people have problems with this bill because the people who are touting it the people who are writing it are people that don't really understand the cyber security concerns and there's a lot of concern over who is coming up with this bill who is supporting it and what they actually know about cyber security. incident this morning saying that you know
11:25 am
boston would be reason enough to pass a cyber security bill is laughable to many people say without a t from all of the world the latest and breaking news in a couple of minutes. see .

the good international airport in the very heart of moscow. thanks for staying with our team unrest is brewing in bus train ahead of the weekend for me to one grand prix with protesters furious that the government plans to host a may lead sports event despite the country's poor human rights records there's already been some violence with activists hurling petrol bombs or drive police who responded with tear gas the demonstrators accuse formula one of ignoring rights

11:28 am
bahrain's most famous human rights campaigner was in london talking to another prominent activist and whistleblower julian a son so we came here to london's ecuadorian embassy which the wiki leaks founder has been calling home for some ten months now in order to have a chat about the man at the forefront of bahrain's pro-democracy struggle i began by asking astonished why he was so keen to invite me to be over jobs for an interview on his exclusive r.t. show britain has one hundred thousand people the bureau rocher has one hundred fifty thousand twitter followers. cards predominantly all the population of the us . since you are to receive a number of other activists in the brain it's great. time to present to the brains of human rights was the most prominent voice for the brain spread speaking to julian assange over job was unequivocal about his determination
11:29 am
to fight for democracy and farai if you have a goal or if you believed you did just. because you wouldn't want. to difficulties and you know that the changes that you were fighting for it's been good four hundred years is not an easy thing to change. those changes you have to be willing to pay a price and my that price might be your life for to be over a job that price has become is freedom three months off the bat interview was that he was sentenced to three years behind bars but according to a staunch keeping him in prison on the current charges is going to be increasingly difficult for the bahraini government. cartoonish form of despotism where he's been sentenced to three years imprisonment for a number of tweets relation to your personal stories to the prime minister and so
11:30 am
on as well as when i see protests he even when he was imprisoned briefly released he did not resign him to the same standard for criticizing us or it's hard for the people with that much coverage you can't. you can't be cowed so i think his long term prospects are quite good amnesty international have labeled him a prisoner of conscience but unless the international community wakes up to abuses in bahrain there's little hope that maybe over jobs going to. tasting freedom any time soon ali boy k r t london's ecuadorian embassy. before him has endured over two years of sendoff between the sunni authorities and the opposition which once a transit towards democracy and equality for the majority shia population the monic
11:31 am
is still insists it's not discriminating against its own people but human rights groups as say that that doesn't tally with how the and rest is being curbed let's take a little add as some of the figures put out by amnesty international says two thousand and eleven clashes between authorities and demonstrators have seen around seventy two people killed in clashes with police the number of all reza made last year of those participating in rallies topped one thousand adding to that at least eighty youngsters under the age of eighteen i held in prison for participating in protests some of them on of tours for torture interrogations yet the government's efforts a good tool was improving its own image and recently spent over thirty two million dollars on public relations for. and. have worked to closely with bill ridge aab when he headed the behind center for
11:32 am
human rights he said that even though being an activist in the rain is obviously dangerous jobs followers are ready to take up his banner. i know he's in jail and this is to go get both of you but i do wish you and behave and send the message that they wanted to be. proud of what we can and they are not to shout it's our lives to be with you but just think if they don't meet you but i'm going to give even if they were just made of you but i think it's kind of them but i think it is will come it will be god i know we have sixty. six activists behind but one of the good things so i think of what i mean by becoming a good one i'd like to give this to behave mistook an easy job in a dictatorship but it united behind and i think i'm going to. go for example they're going to have a shooting you or you don't have to go about their human rights situation in bombay and then he was it us that don't you have to do i did good this.

11:34 am
i reckon cardiologist dr omar. he claims that the war in iraq destroyed iraq's environment even worse than dropping the bomb on hiroshima did doctor what he see puts to data that the number of pressed cancer cases has grown in the country from fifteen to thirty times cases of congenital heart disease have become fifteen times more frequent case of leukemia have increased thirty fold the doctor puts the blame on the weapons used in the one thousand nine hundred one and two thousand and three invasions of iraq and which nato forces used white phosphorus depleted uranium rounds and other toxic gases and poisonous substances human rights watch and the world health organization have measured radiation levels in iraq and consider many places in iraq even some very far from the fighting to be contaminated naturally radiation is not racist and foreign soldiers in iraq are not immune usa today even published research results that found that depleted uranium was indeed in the lungs
11:35 am
and other organs of navy vets who filed for health compensation claims yet you know saddam hussein seemed like a pretty bad guy but there are always ways to get around the confines of a dictatorship but there is no way to escape from radiation it is truly a new president through the invasions of iraq and good for the iraqis well it doesn't seem to be doing too good for their physical health but that's just my opinion.
11:36 am
the international and world in the very heart of moscow. shock. it again i don't know they spam really does not know how to share that with good field victims. that's a bit too much you can go to the last time you saw it and i don't know we have not been with touch in touch with that family for number of years to do for a number of years for pardon me to let me know they never leave here and they never leave here the last time was the last time i saw them was two thousand and six that was i'm so it december two thousand and five. did you ever know them to have any ill will towards the united states no no no i never knew and even if i had to guess
11:37 am
or something i would just step meet them myself when a later time say i wouldn't think provoked it. might. mean losers. hatred to those whose wit able to settle themselves. these are the only reasons i can imagine anything else anything else to do with religion with islam it's a fraud it's a fake if they have a military training and i know it's not as much again i've seen them when they way kid said he experienced and honestly i don't know for we've seen them on in two thousand and five. often. with muslims what church and what is the tension do you have any picture of this thing. happening. if that happened most likely somebody radicalized them but it's not my brother. who just moved but for
11:38 am
those who would spend his life thinking bring it to their table. pixy because. he didn't have time or chance or anything options like has been working. closer to the mike to get. closer. to the fire you know about the make a stepladder not been in touch with my brother no with i don't know anything about that till i don't. know my family it has nothing to do with that family and i asked them where they. bought me but. of course one ish amy guess what a shame they're children of my brother and one of them who had little influence over them honestly as much as i know what little influence of them is a reason on the community council. it's a personal it's
